Fastest Caddy in the World?

2012 Hennessey V1000 Twin Turbo

It could be! If Mercedes-Benz ever hands their new C63 AMG Black Series (or even the regular C63 AMG Coupe) to Brabus, they might as well fit in a 7.0-liter twin-turbo V12 with 800 horsepower in order to compete with what Hennessey is cooking up. Basically, Cadillac sent their CTS-V Coupe over to them. With the car in their garage, they replaced the brilliant 6.2-liter 556 horsepower LSA V8 engine with a insane 427 cid 7.0-liter 1000 horsepower Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine with 950 lb.-ft. of torque. They suspect the car to do 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 230 MPH, making it the fastest Cadillac in the World. Let's not forget that the regular CTS-V only costs $63,660 but will do up to 200 MPH if you give it a long enough runway. Even those upgrades are about 2% of the complete conversion of the car from a performance coupe to a Twin-Turbo supercar. Here's the complete list:

• 1,000 bhp @ 6,400 rpm
• 950 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm

Eat My Grille, Godzilla!

2011 Hennessey Cadillac Escalade

Hennessey has always been known for producing the most outrageous cars. For example, they've made about a dozen Twin-Turbocharged Dodge Vipers, each having over 1,000 horsepower and each perfecting about 230 MPH. They've even done work with Ford GTs, Chevy Camaros, Nissan GT-Rs, and Cadillac CTS-Vs. Well, Hennessey recently got the crazy idea of souping up a Cadillac Escalade. They took the standard 5.3-liter 403 horsepower V8 engine, put in two massive turbochargers in it, some high flow cylinder heads, and a Hennessey HPE1000 camshaft. The output: 1000 horsepower and a 0 to 60 time of, get this, 3.3 seconds! That means that this SUV has enough power and torque to outrun a Nissan GT-R! Hennessey themselves proved this with a one-on-one drag race against Godzilla, with the result of Godzilla having his tail tied at the finish. Wow! What will Hennessey think of next? Check out the video below to see Godzilla get smoked by a Caddy.
